Agree, countries much like people, do not appreciate being bullied, Trunk tried the tough guy approach as if it was a real estate deal and it will fail, bigly.

And this idea of "unfair" again as @Cameron states needs to be viewed in context of a super economy and other smaller economies, smaller economies need to protect some of their industries.

A trade deficit means the USA has been a willing consumer and living above their means and now that want other countries to suffer with them.

I have no problem with countries looking out for their best interests. I'd like to see the same thing happen for America. To say that America hasn't been taken advantage of is ridiculous. If countries were trading with the US fairly, there would be no tariffs now.
I get that you live in a country that benefits to the detriment of citizens here and you don't want to lose that advantage. But the President of the United States should do what is best for the people he represents. Whether one agrees with his methods or not, Trump is doing what he believes will benefit all Americans. This is why he was elected.

"Fair" is once again a relative term.
When Biden put 100% tariff on China's electric vehicles was that "fair"?

Is China building 95% of their vehicles in China, then letting Mexico build 5% to avoid tariffs fair? Is China stealing intellectual property from the whole world fair?

China is a geopolitical foe. We should do nothing to promote anything good for them, except share the gospel.

That is what you are told, blame China for America's decline.

If they are in agreement then it is fair.
Trade agreements remember those.

Maybe realize that a "trade deficit" in the USA means people buy more (consumes) more than it produces and its people live in debt to it can keep consuming.
No one is to blame for that except for the people who do not live within their means.

"DT" does not even know what a trade deficit is.

When the USA was in the best position to take advantage of free trade they were all for it and thought it would last forever.
Quite ironic how it came back to bite them.

America has no one to blame for its problems but itself. We have chosen this course by allowing corrupt politicians to steal our money and leverage our currency. We will either continue down this road or do something about it. I'm in favor of doing something about it.
My point on China is that we have allowed them to be in the position they are in and it was foolish to do so. As far as their theft of intellectual property, it is well known. For someone who prides themselves on research, such a question renders doubt on your objectivity. I'll leave you to your "research" on the topic.

Just landed in Rome. A good day in talks and meetings with Russia and Ukraine. They are very close to a deal, and the two sides should now meet, at very high levels, to “finish it off.” Most of the major points are agreed to. Stop the bloodshed, NOW. We will be wherever is necessary to help facilitate the END to this cruel and senseless war!

No matter what deal I make with respect to Russia/Ukraine, no matter how good it is, even if it’s the greatest deal ever made, The Failing New York Times will speak BADLY of it. Liddle’ Peter Baker, the very biased and untalented writer for The Times, followed his Editor’s demands and wrote that Ukraine should get back territory, including, I suppose, Crimea, and other ridiculous requests, in order to stop the killing that is worse than anything since World War II. Why doesn’t this lightweight reporter say that it was Obama who made it possible for Russia to steal Crimea from Ukraine without even a shot being fired. It was also Liddle’ Peter who wrote an absolutely fawning, yet terribly written Biography, on Obama. It was a JOKE! Did Baker ever criticize the Obama Crimea Giveaway? NO, not once, only TRUMP, and I’ve had nothing to do with this stupid war, other than early on, when I gave Ukraine Javelins, and Obama gave them sheets. This is Sleepy Joe Biden’s War, not mine. It was a loser from day one, and should have never happened, and wouldn’t have happened if I were President at the time. I’m just trying to clean up the mess that was left to me by Obama and Biden, and what a mess it is. With all of that being said, there was no reason for Putin to be shooting missiles into civilian areas, cities and towns, over the last few days. It makes me think that maybe he doesn’t want to stop the war, he’s just tapping me along, and has to be dealt with differently, through “Banking” or “Secondary Sanctions?” Too many people are dying!!!
